�Yeah. Come on sweetie. Let�s go,� Howie said. He picked me up by my waist and took me to my room. Half an hour later, we were ready to go. Shannon and I wore the same outfits but different colors. It was simply shorts and a tank top. Mine was a dark blue while Shannon�s was a dark green. When we hit the sunlight, Brian, Nick and Kevin all stopped. They looked down at our stomach and saw the rings.
�When did you get those?� Nick asked walking over to my stomach to play with it.
�Like 5 years ago,� Shannon answered. Brian walked over to her stomach and played with the ring. They figured out that they said best friends. They finally left it alone and we left to go to DisneyWorld.

�Okay, this is your guys day, so we�ll do whatever you want to do,� AJ said.
�Let�s just walk around and then we�ll figure out what to do,� I said. Howie wrapped his arms around my waist and we just started walking. Then AJ and Shannon followed us, hand in hand. W e walked around for a while then the guys bought us some ice cream. AJ, Kev, and Howie went on this ride. Shannon linked her arm through Brian�s and walked around. They saw the guys and by the look they were making, Shannon and Brian couldn�t help but laugh.
�Let�s sit down,� Shannon suggested.
�Okay.� They looked over and the ride was done. Brian, out of habit, put his arm around Shannon shoulder�s. When AJ came out of the ride, his heart sank. �She would never do something like this�, he thought. Brian and Shannon were in a deep conversation when AJ came up behind Shannon.
�Hi baby,� AJ said. Shannon jumped two feet in the air.
�God AJ. You scared the shit out of me,� Shannon said. AJ walked over to her and hugged her.
�I�m sorry baby.�
�It�s okay. Just don�t do it again,� she said as she kissed him. They pulled apart and Shannon looked around. She had forgotten Brian was right there.
�Oh, I�m sorry, Brian. Come on. Let�s find everybody else,� she said as she grabbed Brian�s hand. Shannon or Brian didn�t think anything of it but AJ thought for sure something was going on with them. Shannon put her arm around AJ�s waist and AJ did the same. They walked a little bit further and found the rest of the gang. AJ looked over at Howie. He could tell his best buddy wasn�t too happy. He looked in the direction Howie was looking and found out why.

Nick and I walked around a little and then we went to go shopping.
�How about some Mickey ears?� he asked.
�Sure.� He grabbed my hand and dragged me to this little shop. He bought me little Minnie ears with the pink bow. �Thanks Nick. They�re cute,� I said as I gave him a kiss on the cheek.
�Where else would you like to go?� Nick asked.
�Well, let�s go to the flower shop,� I said as I grabbed his hand. We walked over to the flower shop, which was right across from the ride. We went in and I found the prettiest rose. It was dark purple and it was made of silk. I smelled it and it smelled like a rose. I bought it and thought about Howie. Nick and I walked out.
�Hey, Theresa?� Nick called to me.
�What?� I asked.
�This is for you,� he said as he handed me the silk green rose. I threw my arms around his neck and gave him a hug. We pulled apart and I smelled Howie�s rose again.
�I hope he likes it,� I said, starting to look around for him. I saw him. He was watching Nick and I and a pissed off look came across his face. I stopped smiling. I walked over to him and just looked into his brown eyes, eyes that were hurting.
�We need to talk Theresa,� Howie said. He started walking away.

�What�s up with D?� Shannon asked. She just watched Howie and I leave.
�I don�t know,� Brian answered.
�I do. He saw Theresa hugging Nick and thought something was going on. Shannon, I need to talk to you.� He grabbed her hand and lead her to the bench that her and Brian were sitting at before. �Is something going on between you and Brian?�
�WHAT?!?� she just asked. AJ repeated the question. �No, there is nothing going on. We were just talking. Why would I want to hurt the guy I love?�
�I don�t know. I guess I made assumptions when I saw you together. I�m sorry,� AJ said. She looked into those eyes. He gave her his puppy dog eyes.
�Okay. How can I not forgive those eyes?� She pulled him closer to her and kissed him. AJ was the one who deepened the kiss. The finally pulled apart and decided to met up with the rest of the gang.
�Everything okay man?� Brian asked AJ. Brian was on the other side of Shannon. AJ looked over at his buddy and wondered why he would ever assume anything like that.
�Yeah, everything is cool.� Brian reached out and grabbed Shannon�s hand. She looked over at AJ and AJ smiled, saying he understood. They went to find a place to sit and waited for Howie and I.

�What�s wrong?� I asked, sitting down at some bench.
�I don�t know where�� I�ll just come right out and say it. What�s up with you and Nick?�
�Excuse me?!? Are you asking if there�s something, like a relationship starting to form, then the answer is no. But if you�re asking is a friendship forming then the answer is yes.�
�So, really there�s nothing?�
�No, Howard, there�s nothing.�
�Then what about that hug outside the flower shop?�
�I hugged him because he gave me a flower. It was sweet of him.�
�Oh, I�m sorry Theresa. I don�t know what I was thinking,� he said as he started walking over to me.
�It�s okay. We all make mistakes. Let�s not forget about Emily,� I said.
�Oh true. I love you,� Howie said as he kissed me.
�I love you too.� We kissed again but the smell of the roses came to our noses.
�Those are pretty roses,� Howie said, looking down into my hands.
�Oh, this is for you,� I said, handing him the dark purple rose.
�Wow, it�s beautiful. Thank you.� He leaned in and kissed me.
�Your more then welcome.� Howie grabbed me around my waist and lifted me up. �D, put me down.�
�Okay. Come on. Let�s met up with the gang,� he said.
�Wait,� I said as I pulled him back and kissed him. �Okay, now we an go.� We finally met up with everybody.
